Let's face it, kids have a wealth of toys to choose from these days. With beefed up actions figures and dolls with their own cell phones, it all almost feels a little inappropriate. Playmobil sets are a simpler alternative, especially if you're looking for a little specialization.
Play Time is Fun Time
Playmobil sets range from the fantastic to the mundane; you can often find dragons alongside recycling trucks. This is great for kids with specific interestsjust the bathroom furniture for a mansion, for example, or a single Playmobil figure with puppies.
They're also known for their accessories. And since they're in G Scale, they can be used with similarly scaled toys; your favorite Playmobil lion tamer can take a G Scale model train across the living room to the circus under the coffee table and his tiny luggage will fit. Because of their small size, parents should consider Playmobil items a choking hazard for kids under four. The small pieces can also be easily lost, making them a bit frustrating.
It Figures
Playmobil figures are diverse, coming in different skin tones and with different cultural items, the better to encourage a little pride in your child. They also vary in agethere are seniors, adults, kids and even baby Playmobil figures. Gender neutrality is another advantage of Playmobil sets. While they do have specialized sets for girls that include a lot of unicorns and pink item, any child can enjoy playing pirates or veterinarian with a Playmobil set, especially since male and female figures included in most sets.
